After MONTHS of testing to make sure we got it right we are within a soap sud of getting this on the shelves.

Meaning you can ditch the dirt, the endocrine disrupting fragrances and the nasty chemicals.

Better health, better cleaning power and better for the earth.

What’s not to love? ❤️🌿🌍

We’ve been a little quiet lately… and that’s because we’ve been BUSY finalising the recipes for something brand new

You may have heard Abi from The Sage Apothecary speaking on Up Close Radio with the lovely Chappers about being mindful of the chemicals we use on our bodies — and that doesn’t stop at skincare… it includes what we clean our homes with too.

So it only felt right that Mother Clucking Farm and The Sage Apothecary joined forces

I bring the soap knowledge…
Abi brings the non-toxic living & essential oil magic…
And together we’ve created a brand new range of household cleaning products launching this spring 🌿

As many of you know, with our plans for a sustainable off-grid life (and our ongoing drainage planning battle 😅), everything we use has to be safe for the land we live on. That means our cleaning products will be **septic tank safe** — because we’re taking responsibility for what goes back into the environment.

It doesn’t get much more mindful than making the products you use every day.

Clean home.
Happy planet.
No nasties.

We cannot wait to share them with you 💚

Herbalism begins at home, yo ✨

Hey lovely souls! Just a quick note to say the apothecary is closed today because I’ve caught the lurgy. Yes, it seems even herbalists can get under the weather—shocking, I know! 😷 ⁣
⁣
But fear not! I’ve got my trusty herbs, a killer supplement protocol and, of course, the best medicine of all: cuddles from my Lakeland Terrier, Eggs, and our resident stray superstar, Moriarty, the Pannier Market cat. 🐾❤️ ⁣
⁣
So, while I’m taking a little time to recharge and kick this bug to the curb, I’ll be back soon—better than ever, I promise. Stay healthy out there.⁣
⁣
Here’s a pic of M kicking back at the apothecary for some extra vibes. See you Tuesday ❤️🌿

✨ Festive dates + a big thank you ✨⁣
⁣
As we head into the festive break, all our Christmas opening times, prescription cut-offs and therapy availability are on the graphics 👇so you know exactly what’s what.⁣
⁣
Mostly though, I just want to say thank you. To everyone who’s visited the apothecary in person or online this year — you’ve made opening this space such a wild, wonderful experience and I’m so grateful for every face I see. ❤️🌿⁣
⁣
Gentle reminder as the festive chaos ramps up: it’s just one day. What matters is the people around you, not what’s under the tree. ⁣
⁣
And if you don’t celebrate? Feet up, rest up, enjoy the quiet — fully approved.⁣
⁣
Be kind to your minds, and we’ll see you on the other side of the break ✨🌙

Support the Petition to Protect Medicinal Mushrooms! 🍄⁣
⁣
Hey lovely people - the herbal community needs your help to protect your access to some pretty kick-ass shrooms.⁣
⁣
We are urging Parliament to reform the EU Novel Foods Regulation, which currently bans traditional adaptogenic mushrooms like turkey tail and cordyceps, despite their safe use in Asia for centuries and of course, professional practice. ⁣
⁣
Why This Matters:⁣
⁣
- Consumer Choice: These regulations restrict access to natural health products that have supported wellness for generations.⁣
⁣
- Cultural Inclusivity: They favour European dietary customs while sidelining valuable global traditions.⁣
⁣
- Unfair Barriers: Small businesses face unjust obstacles, limiting your freedom to choose safe, time-tested remedies.⁣
⁣
Key Points:⁣
⁣
1. The 1997 cutoff date is arbitrary and ignores centuries of safe use.⁣
⁣
2. Alcohol and to***co, known to be harmful, are permitted while beneficial mushrooms face restrictions.⁣
⁣
3. These two traditional mushrooms are well-researched, with 3,884 documented studies on PubMed alone, highlighting their immune-supporting benefits and overall vitality.⁣
⁣
Your Signature Matters!⁣ And if every one of you signed it would be hard to ignore.
⁣
By signing (and sharing the petition), you advocate for fairness, autonomy, and evidence-based policies that respect both scientific research and traditional knowledge. Help us reclaim access to natural health options for you!⁣ 🤘
⁣
👉 Sign the petition now: https://c.org/xjyczxXLm4
⁣
Together, we can ensure that everyone has the right to choose their wellness journey! 🌱✨
